To know Linda meant you were absolutely loved by Linda and you loved her too. Linda was known by several nicknames such as Linge, Bones, Beulah as her positive attitude kept her and so many others constantly laughing, joking, and smiling. An amazing kind soul and talent, her beautiful calligraphy and art skills was a thing of wonders, often asked to write invitations or cards for people. Often she would tag your car or home with positive messages and artwork of love that you didn't want to erase because of its sheer beauty. A true GROOVY HIPPY to the end, she only wanted PEACE and LOVE to fill everyone's heart and soul. Her family, friends, any and all pets or animals were her entire world. Compassionate beyond measure, she took care of family like a pro and kept all the neighborhood pets fed and watered. She CARED. She LOVED. She never missed any one's birthday or any holiday. We're all so blessed to have had her in our lives. Linda was a giver, not a taker. She didn't want anybody to be sad when her time to go home finally came. Heaven's light shined brighter than ever with her arrival and we will all miss her dearly. So so so many more great things can be said about her, and we all have our own precious memories of her to keep as personal gifts from her forever. She is waiting on the other side of those pearly gates waiting for everyone's arrival with the biggest hug possible ready for you and a smile on her face.
As the FREE SPIRIT she was had always said, GROOVY, PEACE, LOVE, and FAR OUT MAN! Rest In Peace, Beloved Linda.
